Forward Guidance
The $103 million of new orders during the third quarter marked a strong sequential improvement from the prior period. However, considering the lead time of our projects, the current revenue levels and overall operating activity prevent us from fully leveraging our overhead. This, in addition to the recent inflationary impact on commodities such as steel and copper, are creating headwinds to our margin profile.
Positive Outlook
- Project execution and customer fulfillment
- Diligent cost and cash management
- Continue to build working capital as we execute on our current project mix
- Cautiously optimistic that the commercial activity will gradually improve.
- Balance sheet and liquidity position remain a core strength of Powell and provide the flexibility to navigate through these industry cycles, while also providing an element of optionality.
Challenges Ahead
- Current revenue levels and overall operating activity prevent us from fully leveraging our overhead.
- Recent inflationary impact on commodities such as steel and copper, are creating headwinds to our margin profile.
- Manage through this cycle
- Main focus remains on project execution and customer fulfillment
- Diligent cost and cash management
